    AFDavis' post on 4-14-2014 is an excellent, excellent observation on how to strop a razor. Worth reading more than once!

    Great photos gssixgun.

    It looks like Finnegan is lifting the spine on his away stroke about 3 inches from end or am I missing something? Then again old Masters have a feel & touch that's hard to achieve and can boggle the eye.
